Safety
The television’s components are sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the television.
Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.
Damp in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity.
If you have to use the television outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing.
Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance.
Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the television).
Leave the condensation to evaporate before turning the television on again.
If you are away for a long period, switch the set off at the on/off switch.
Even when off, some components remain in contact with the mains electricity supply.
To completely isolate it you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.
According to the model dependent, the on/off switch is located at the front or side of the television.
During thunder storms, we recommend that you disconnect the television from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by
electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it.
For this reason, keep the mains socket and aerial socket accessible so they can be disconnected.
Immediately disconnect the television if you notice it giving off a burning smell or smoke.
You must not under any circumstances open the television yourself.
You are at risk of electrocution if you do so.
The set is provided with adequate shielding to avoid the emission of X-rays.
Work by unqualified persons, modifications to the high voltage or replacement of the tube by a model not complying with the
manufacturer’s recommendations may cause a sharp increase in X-ray emissions.
A set modified in this way no longer meets the original specifications and should not be used.
Care
Clean the screen with a glass care cleaner and the rest of the set with a soft cloth and neutral detergent.
Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides. Using solvents,abrasive or alcohol based products risks damaging the television.
Demagnetization
Badly shielded loudspeakers or other strong magnetic fields near the TV can cause patches of colour to appear on the screen.
Move any magnetised materials away from the TV, switch the set off and switch it on fifteen minutes later.
THOMSON is not liable if the television is used other than in accordance with this manual.
In our efforts to improve the quality of our products, we reserve the right to change their features.The information contained in these instructions are
therefore liable to change and are not contractual.

Specific precautions for projection TVs
On/Off switch
Refer to the picture on the inside cover of this manual.
If you are not using the appliance for a long period of time switch it off using the on/off switch (A).
Safety
Do not place the TV set on a surface which is unstable, sloping or subject to vibration.
Make sure that the flooring is strong enough to support the set’s weight.
Temperature
If the temperature in the room changes suddenly or the set is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may
form on the lenses, which can distort the picture.The picture will return to normal after one or two hours’ operation.
Comfortable viewing
To make your viewing as comfortable as possible:
- Close the curtains or shutters in the room to avoid the screen being directly exposed to sunlight.
- Avoid flooring or wall surfaces which are too shiny, as well as any form of direct lighting on the screen.
Cleaning the screen
Use a dry soft, lint-free cloth, if necessary, moistened in a very mild detergent to clean the screen.
Note: using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen.
Choosing the ideal location
One of the main assets of your projection television is its large screen. It can provide good conditions for comfortable
viewing at up to an 80° angle from the centre of the screen (see below).
However, to ensure your maximum enjoyment, it is recommended that you sit directly in front of the television,
with your eyes level with the centre of the screen at a distance of no less than 3 metres.
Other recommendations
Before moving your projection television set:
- Unplug the power and RF cables.
- Make sure that the power cable is not caught under one of the castors as this could damage it and cause a short circuit.
- Move the set carefully. It is equipped with castors to facilitate its movement.
- Make sure that the screen is not hit or scored.
- Lift the set up when moving it on bumpy surfaces to prevent damage to the castors.
It is recommended that a test card or any other fixed picture should not be left on the screen for more than 15 minutes
to prevent damage to the tubes. For this reason, games consoles are not recommended for use with this television.
